Landmine Push Press — Technique Guide
BB
By Borja Bes — CrossFit Athlete & Hyrox Finisher
Landmine Push Press is an angled power press that transfers a short leg drive into the bar. Equipment: Landmine attachment, Barbell, Weight plates. To establish a repeatable position, hold the sleeve at one shoulder in a balanced athletic stance with the elbow under the hand. From there, dip vertically, drive through the legs, and finish the press along the landmine arc before controlling the return. The movement belongs in deliberate strength, accessory, or compatible conditioning work rather than being added randomly for novelty. Keep repetitions crisp and submaximal; stop when the dip shifts forward or the press becomes a grind. Select resistance that preserves the intended pattern from the first repetition to the last.
